Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real
Chapter 163: Money Tree (Part )
"Your Highness Prince Yi has come to visit us. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you!"
Chen Heng was holding an exquisite wooden box in his arms as he walked towards Chu Huanjun. Behind him, a group of servants were rolling out a large red carpet, scattering flower petals, and beating drums and gongs. The atmosphere was very loud, as if they were afraid that others would not know that he was welcoming the distinguished guest of the Fragrance Tasting Conference - Chu Huanjun.
Tao Yao was frightened by the scene. The overwhelming fireworks and firecrackers were about to fly towards her face. Tao Yao hurriedly hid behind Chu Huanjun, fearing that the sparks from the firecrackers would explode on her.
Chu Huanjun tightened the reins, bringing the carriage to a halt. As soon as the carriage stopped, Chen Heng and his men surrounded it, banging drums and gongs. They threw fireworks at the carriage and shouted, "His Royal Highness Prince Yi has arrived. This humble town of Hukou is honored! This humble town is honored!"
Chu Huanjun's eardrums were about to burst from their noise, so he quickly covered his ears, frowned, and gave Chen Heng a look that said "that's enough".
Chen Heng was a businessman who was very good at observing people's expressions. He immediately understood what Chu Huanjun meant and quickly waved his hand to order everyone to stop.
Tao Yao just came out from behind Chu Huanjun at this time, and quietly looked at the group of people in front of him. He couldn't help thinking: I thought the person who organized this incense tasting conference must be a very elegant person, but I didn't expect him to be such a idiot, so tacky.
Chu Huanjun glanced at Chen Heng impatiently and scolded him angrily, "Young Master Chen, what are you doing? Don't scare my wife."
Tao Yao almost spit out a mouthful of water. What wife?! She looked at Chu Huanjun with suspicion, but Chu Huanjun remained calm, as if he was deliberately trying to create this misunderstanding.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Tao Yao. Panicked, Tao Yao retreated back behind Chu Huanjun, unable to resist secretly pinching the soft flesh on Chu Huanjun's back.
Chu Huanjun cried out in pain, "Ouch!", then turned around and rubbed Tao Yao's face with a gentle smile. His eyes were smiling like a pair of crescent moons. He looked gentle, but in fact he was full of bad intentions.
In this situation, Chen Heng had already cursed Chu Huanjun countless times in his heart for his "collapse of rituals and music", but his face was still full of polite smiles as he handed over the exquisite wooden box in his arms.
At that time, two maids came up behind Chen Heng and opened the lid of the wooden box together. They saw a small glass bottle in the box. As soon as the box was opened, the faint sweet fragrance inside spread all around.
Chu Huanjun squinted his eyes and sniffed carefully for a moment, muttering, "Hmm... borneol, sandalwood, storax... You added no less than ten kinds of fragrance to this piece of incense cake. The smells are a mess, it's simply a random combination. What's going on? Is the person who used to mix perfumes gone?"
Chen Heng had originally wanted to sell it to Chu Huanjun, but he was so disgusted by her that he immediately felt embarrassed. He replied awkwardly, "Are you talking about that girl named Chen Xue? Oh, she hasn't been working for the Chen family this year. She said she went back to her hometown."
Chu Huanjun shook his head: "What a shame! Apart from the incense she matched, the incense at your incense tasting conference is nothing special."
Chen Heng observed Chu Huanjun's expression, then defiantly passed the perfume box in his arms toward Tao Yao. He had been observing her since before, and the girl sitting next to Chu Huanjun was easily moved. If Chu Huanjun didn't want to buy, then he could start with this girl.
Seeing Chen Heng sneaking up on Tao Yao, Chu Huanjun quickly stretched out his arms to protect Tao Yao and warned, "Hey, hey, hey, Chen Heng, you can fool me, but you can't fool my wife."
"How can that be considered fooling around?" Chen Heng, beaming, handed the glass bottle to Tao Yao. "In my opinion, Madam, with her beauty and graceful demeanor, is the perfect match for our Yuchanxiang. I was worried that it wouldn't sell, but when I met Madam, I knew it was tailor-made for her. If you don't buy it, you'll be missing out."
Chu Huanjun was about to curse back, but when he turned around, he saw that Tao Yao seemed to have been fooled by him, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at the glass bottle.
Chu Huanjun had never seen Tao Yao like something so much, so he immediately changed his expression and asked softly, "How is it? Do you want to try it?"
Just like that, under Chen Heng's expectant gaze, Chu Huanjun finally reached out and took out the small glass bottle from his wooden box and handed it to Tao Yao.
Tao Yao picked up the glass bottle, held it to her nose, and sniffed again and again, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "This fragrance is so unique. The top note is a burst of floral fragrance, the middle note is fruity, and the base note is a light sandalwood. It combines so many flavors in one, yet it doesn't feel redundant. It smells like walking in an orchard full of flowers. This kind of fragrance is rare."
Chu Huanjun, who had just said that this incense was a "random combination", immediately changed his tone and said with Tao Yao: "Well, it is true that incense that can reach this level is really rare in the world."
Chen Heng's gaze on Tao Yao was instantly filled with admiration, as if he had seen a huge cash cow. He immediately began to introduce her, "This Yuchan incense was made by a master incense maker from the Western Regions. There's only this one this year. I was supposed to sell it at the incense tasting conference, but I knew that His Royal Highness Prince Yi, who has always loved incense, would definitely not miss such a rare and exquisite product. So I came here early this morning to wait for His Royal Highness and save the best goods for him."
Chen Heng flattered her, but Chu Huanjun's expression remained unchanged. Chu Huanjun didn't bother to pay attention to him. His heart and eyes were fixed on Tao Yao. He asked softly, "How is it? Do you like it? If you do, I'll buy it."
Tao Yao reluctantly put the glass bottle back, an embarrassed smile on her face: "How can that be! This fragrance is so special, and there is only one of it. It must be very expensive."
Chu Huanjun's face showed an expression of contempt. Tao Yao actually refused to buy the incense because she was worried that it was too expensive. This was completely a lack of face for Chu Huanjun!
Chu Huanjun then slapped his palm forward and snatched the Yuchanxiang in his hand, saying, "Expensive? So what if it's expensive? I have plenty of money to buy it!"
As soon as Chu Huanjun boasted, Chen Heng was almost knocked unconscious by the sudden happiness. There was a golden light in front of his eyes, as if he saw the huge money tree swaying and shaking, and the gold and silver on the tree were falling in front of him like rain.
